Motorola announced the launch of MOTO Q PRO, a business handset which expands the functionality of the Motorola Q. Designed for enterprise users, the MOTO Q PRO solution features enhanced security software, an extended-life battery, additional mobile accessories, document editing capabilities, direct shipment services and enterprise call center support.

"The MOTO Q PRO solution was created as a direct result of enterprise customer feedback," said Kevin Goulet, director of Product Management, Enterprise Mobility Solutions, Motorola Networks & Enterprise. "To better meet enterprise user requirements, we have bundled a package of features to enhance the Motorola Q user experience and provide added device security, document editing options and the accessories needed to extend user mobility."

The MOTO Q PRO solution features the Mobile Security Platform component of the Motorola MOTOPRO Mobility Suite. The solution includes a personal firewall and intrusion detection features that protect the MOTO Q PRO from hackers and common attacks. Other features include selective or complete data encryption, data wiping, and real-time event logging. MOTO Q PRO also supports enterprise Virtual Private Network solutions to help safeguard enterprise data and networks, as well as a password protection feature which provides a first line of defense in the event the device is lost or stolen.

Running Windows Mobile 5.0, MOTO Q PRO supports a wide range of enterprise and personal email/PIM solutions. It allows users to download, view and edit Microsoft Word documents in addition to viewing attachments in a variety of other formats including Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, photos and video clips. To simplify an enterprise deployment of the Q, Motorola has created an enterprise-specific order portal that enables enterprises to specify device functionality based on IT policies and purchasing processes. Staging services are also provided for preloading authorized software, inserting company-specific user instructions in the product box and shipping devices directly to end users.
